And Then There Were Four (Lilith Carrie)

Pollux.

I was never a man who cared for envying other people, and in all honesty, I had been a complete asshole over the past few weeks. Not only while being here, but also before we came here. My sister was my twin, and even though we were completely different and irritated the shit out of each other, I couldn't tell her no.

The way she looked at me with pleading eyes asking me to help her because she believed more than anything that Lucas was being controlled, I couldn't say no. I couldn't let her down and not help her when she needed it most.

Even though I thought she was full of shit... even though I thought this was all pointless.

"You're doing the right thing, Lux." Trixie's voice pulled me from my thoughts as she came to sit next to me at the table in the dining hall. I had been so against her initially, but the last few days, I had spent more time with her because of everything going on with Cassie. She wasn't like I had expected her to be and when I stared at her glowing green eyes and electric blue hair, I saw a woman far more exotic and beautiful than I ever saw before. A woman who was capable of so much, and yet had been so vastly misunderstood. "Am I, though? I can't help but feel she is wasting her time."

Trixie sighed as she stared at me. I didn't understand why she was so willing to stand by Cassie in this charade of trying to help a man who didn't even want to be her mate. It was embarrassing, and all she was doing was hurting herself even further.

"People act weird when they are in love, and even if he doesn't want her, Cassie has a good heart. If you haven't been able to tell already, Cassie sees things in people others overlook."

There was something in Trixie's eyes as she spoke that made me wonder if she was slightly directing that at me. If she wasn't trying to say I overlooked things, and maybe also that I was acting weird.
